Kismet

(a little light romance)

when our lips met in breathless tender touch

as eyelids drew their blinds on bustling world

let memories of that moment's state of bliss

reside inside our minds for all of time

as butterflies chased moonbeams in night's dark

two hearts entwined like grapes grown on a vine

while stars saluted pathways edged in bright

those feet were floating six feet off the ground

the axis of the planet came adrift

all sense of time departed when we kissed

A title derived of destiny, of providence, and of ... a Kiss-Met?
Fun, Engaging, Compelling, makes me want to light up an afterwards-cigarette,
and I don't smoke! haha

"Every poem is a love poem" since all poems are the product of attention care and concern. It is not the default but rather the 'scherzo" or lively character of (modern) poetic composition. It makes otherwise routine word combinations , aqueous and yes, beautiful. And although Love poems assume that everyone's beauty is the same , which it isn't. Everyone falsifies the un-beautiful similarly. But i'm older now, with one leg shorter than the other and my bedroom window faces the neighbors wooden privacy fence. So I use poetry like this as the green pastures of velar tongue touching; to moisten an otherwise treeless world. wonderfully written/ dana

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Dana. It is the heady, giddy stuff of teenage first kisses. Remembered but never quite experienced again. Well worth a poem though :)) Thank you for your wonderful response.

A delightfully sweet bit of romance with tenderness turned to flame from a spark. I enjoyed the read.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Fabian. This is not a genre I feel comfortable with. I don't write many mushy poems :) Appreciate you stopping by.

First kisses, so very long ago. Never quite recapture the feet off the ground feeling after that. Thank you for another visit. Enjoy the rest of the day.
